Brethren,

How are you doing today? I trust you are well.

This week, we look at the second part on the blessedness of the pure in heart. This time, we shall be considering how we might grow in purity.

Key Learnings points are:
1. To be pure in heart means to be free from defilements. The pure heart is marked by transparency and an uncompromising desire to please God in all things. It is more than an external purity of behaviour; it is an internal purity of soul.
2. We are admonished to pursue peace with all men, and holiness without which no one will see the Lord. While the Lord cleanses us from all impurity when we come to Him, we are instructed to cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
3. Only the pure can see God. We will see God when we ride on the finished work of Jesus Christ through His death on the Cross of Calvary. The sinless Saviour has the capacity to transform a sinful heart into a sinless life.

Brethren,

This Sunday, we shall look at the sixth beatitude – the blessedness of the pure in heart, with a special focus on purity of devotion to God. It reminds one of the first commandment – to love God with all our heart, mind, soul and strength.

Our Key Learning Points are:

1.      Purity of heart is to love and will one thing. That is what loving God with all one’s heart, soul, mind, and strength is all about. God becomes the ONLY thing for the person who is single-minded in their devotion to God.

2.      Single-minded devotion to God removes all the confusion that life often brings. That is what it means to have implicit trust in God and that is how we get to see only God and what He is doing and what He wants

3.      Faith is the eye that sees God. And through faith in Christ, we are made right with God and privileged to see God in our daily decisions of obedience expressed by our refusal to dishonour God’s name by idolatry or by hypocrisy.
